I want more enemies instead of sponge health(Horde)

when I read comments like yours @PartyUpLive that when I really sense to realize that it should be more positive to shut down 5, and go straight to give us Gears of War 6, I mean its a failure no argue about that .

there were good points on Gears 5 , mainly the campaing however everything else, its just plain “average” , its a game where " average effort" still prevails.

its a shame, the playerbase and community doesnt give " average efforts" on supporting the game, they really invest on it, the least TC should do its to give a game par to the expectations.

I like it :slight_smile:

Horde, for me it is to play as a team, each one has its own function or its role to develop in the game, the essentials Jd, Kait, Del or Baird and Jack the fifth can be a backpack, but to summarize the horde in two characters, I think that you are wrong, even if you have Jd and Kait alone in a horde Master, without an engineer and without a good Jack, things are almost impossible, now if you play in low difficulties where there are no rules, where they do not deposit, they do not play as a team, they don’t do their part … well, I don’t want to talk much about it, because in my opinion, what TC has to solve is two things,

  1. not allow the use of duplicate characters (horde and Escape);
  2. duplicate ability cards (duplicate cards that cannot be burned, in some cases I have more than 70 duplicated gold and there they are left without being able to do anything with them, they could be transformed into scrap metal, but so far nothing)

I see your point and agree that it’s a team game. However there are far to many characters that become useless on the higher waves on the higher difficulties and rely on the characters you mention do all the work. We should not have to pick the characters you mention.

You can beat master with other characters but it just takes too long because the enemies are soo spongy.

Just played a game on gears of war 4 horde and had a blast fighting the endless enemies flooding at our base. It wasn’t the best base, my side went without barriers often. We were also down a sniper. Just a soldier on the left and heavy on right. Anyway, we got over ran and it was fun fending them off. Even though we lost I had a good time. Wasn’t bored once.

Haven’t really felt that in gears 5 much

I’ve been playing Gears 2 and 3 Horde and IMO, while 2 is still fun for the old school feel, 3 is soooo much more fun than 5’s Horde. The maps, enemy variety(I know it’s the third game in the series), pretty much the whole thing is just way more fun.

Even 4 I had a lot more fun than 5. My only issue with 4, off the top of my head, was when there was 10+ turrets doing all the killing.

I’d like to play gears 3 horde some more. Didn’t really get into it much before gears 4.

As for the spamming of sentries, you’re playing with the wrong team. Gears 4 engineering is all about lockers and barriers and decoys for the win.

I will shamelessly admit that I was a sentry nut in Gears of War 4. My goal was to crossfire the enemy spawn with sentries so I could relax in the later waves :sweat_smile:

Fully aware this is a super unpopular method of play, and I expect some flak from it, so let me go grab my fireproof suit :fire:

I played every way possible as an engineer at some point. While I prefer the barrier and decoy setup now, there was some games I made sentry walls just for kicks. It was hilarious seeing drones get mowed down by 20 sentries at once.

Agreed. I miss having an actual Horde and a larger map. Only bosses should be able to laugh their way through fortifications, not EVERYTHING except tickers, in higher rounds. Maybe toss in the occasional “Villain” named enemy, who has a much larger TTK but beyond that, making enemies with more health/damage/immunities isn’t a challenge, it’s annoying.
